Charlie we are back. We are back. They're belly up podcast presented by Fleet Farm. Fleet Farm. We love it. I'm so excited to be here at the Harwood Grill in Saloon here in Harwood, North Dakota. Harwood North Dakota just on the outskirts of Fargo over there. Gee,

up north, up north to Little Rays. Up north to Fargo. Windier than hell today. I tell you that right now. I was walking in. There's a gravel parking lot out there. I got a little sand in my eyes. Sand in your eyes. Yeah, that'll happen.

I wasn't crying. I just got sand in my eyes. I promise. Well, you were being a little overly emotional, I thought. But, you know, we'll call it sand in the eyes, okay? You know, speaking of emotional, you know, what I get emotional about Charlie? What's that, Miles? Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, and you want to know why?

Why? It's one of my favorite holidays of the year. Why? Just shed a tear in pure happiness because I get to eat Thanksgiving dinner. You like food. I do like food. Good for you. I enjoy food myself.

Yeah, one, for me, it's not so much about the foods that is the gravy. Oh, okay, you're a gravy guy. Big gravy guy. I'm going to... I just don't get gravy very often, you know what I mean? Got a confession for you. I am not a gravy guy. Well, that's because you're skinny.

I typically pass on the gravy. I mean, that adds up. I just don't have a taste for the gravy. It's not that I have anything against gravy or people who like gravy. I think they're all fine people It's just me myself. I was not gifted with the the gravy taste buds Well, so then what are you going with on Thanksgiving? I really like the cranberries a lot Honestly, I love the turkey. I like a big turkey leg. I'm a dark meat kind of guy. Okay And uh, you know that's and then I like stuffing my big stuffing guy. I'm a dark meat kind of guy. Okay. Um, and, uh, you know, that's, and then I like stuffing, I'm a big stuffing guy. Yeah. I mean, you can't go wrong with stuffing.

You can't. I, I've never had some stuffing where I was like, hmm, not good enough. Now, there's some people out there that don't even put the stuffing in the turkey. Correct. Yeah. It's just a side. What's the deal with that? Well, I don't know because it's all about the juices. There is a juicy thing. Although I've had some Yeah, I suppose I suppose you know what? I'm talking out of my terrain here because I'm not really great at making any food unless it's like something that I really fish anything I catch kill, that's really all I know how to cook and brides. Maybe got to go turkey hunting. Maybe I should. Yeah. Yeah. Um, now to talk me through though, your family comes to you. I know they would never do this because they want to actually enjoy Thanksgiving. But they come to you and say, Charlie, char, is I think some of your family cause you know what, we're

having Thanksgiving dinner at your house. Okay. Yeah. I want you to cook us up a Thanksgiving turkey. How's it going? Not good. Not too approach. Not too approach.

I didn't look, I've even gotten turkeys before in my life, hunting, but I have never cooked myself a turkey. Here's what I'd probably do. I'd probably be one of those guys who's like, yeah, I've even gotten turkeys before in my life, hunting, but I have never cooked myself a turkey. Here's what I'd probably do. I'd probably be one of those guys who's like, yeah, I'll do it. I'll do the deep fried thing. I was just thinking about that. I'll get, because we have one of the big deep fryer's for fish.

Because big family, you know, you pop it in there. I'd fill that sucker with oil. I put it on my balcony. You know, and I do it out there like an idiot. I'd probably do it over the thing. I'd probably burn my house down. I'd be one of those guys. Yeah, I mean, I could see that

as a very real possibility with you. Yeah, 100%. What's your favorite Thanksgiving tradition? My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is, I wanted, everything is probably my head is too cliche. Well, I'm not a cliche guy. Me just clearly watching, watching, watching, watching football, obviously just very generic. Um, I, one thing that I like is I have a couple of cousins that are very funny.

They're even funnier than you really me at least. No, that's fantastic. And so one of my favorite traditions is just to get a few beers in them and then just let them just go. I like it. It's just one joke after another. I like it. Every family's got to have one of those. Yeah. Otherwise Thanksgiving's kind of boring. So totally boring. It's nice to have sort of, you know, your little crew that you can make fun of like your other relatives and BS and talk smack about football. Yeah. We actually used to just make fun of the on snunkles as a collective group. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's at the kids table. Do you have a kids table? Yeah, it's more so not even a kids table anymore. Just a kids area. Okay. But and all the kids are like over the age of 25. But

still still the kids area. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I really like. Thanks for asking me my favorite tradition. By the way, no, I was kind of you. I like the turkey bowl. I like going out and playing football with, you know, you know, uncles, your aunts, your cousins, someone always pulls something. You know, I was going to say, yeah. And when someone always pulls something, you know, I was going to say. Yeah. And when I was a kid, when I thought I was going to be a professional football player, between the ages of 11 and 12 and a half. As did I. Yep. Yep. Yep. I would always want to show off my amazing football skills. And I find that even

now playing, even now, when I'm playing with these younger kids and everything, I still want to show up. I still wanna show up. I still wanna, I still. You gotta perform. I still show up in spikes. I still show up in sweatpants. I've stretched in before the whole deal. I'm getting there really.

You got real spikes. Ah yeah, I do well. Actually, honestly, they're my saying that my football spikes from back in the day. And they're more rubber. They're the rubber quates, you know? Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.

Um, you know, we don't really do that anymore. We're all a little too round, little too immobile these days. The parents family clearly is much in better shape than ours. But back in the day, when I was in college, back in the day, open that year book backup, please. Gentlemen, let's look at the pictures. Me and my brothers got into a argument on who could run a 40 yard dash faster. Oh, good.

And so we actually like three or four thanks, giveings in a row. We ran a 40 yard dash outside and my family came out and we like timed it and everything who did the best. I did. Did you? You guys should do and everything. Who did the best? I did, obviously. Did you? You guys should do that again. Would that happen again? Probably not.

You should probably get. I probably smell the brother now. Oh, really? He's faster than you know. Yeah, he was always faster and then he got a little round and I was still in college playing ball. So, but, uh, yeah. So I think that more people should be instituting a 40-yard dash tradition.

Just get it over in five seconds. Are you going to do that? Yeah, maybe I'll bring it back. I'll stretch it out a little bit. Yeah, definitely stretch out because the last thing we need is for you to pull your pecker area. You know what I mean? Pull the groin.

Yeah. You know? Tell you're calling it. Of the pecker area. Yeah. Okay. So, I mean, it's in the area of your pecker you're growing is. Well, regardless, hope everyone has a good thing. Yeah. Okay. So I mean, it's in the area of your pecker you're growing is well, regardless. Hope everyone has a good. Yeah. This year have a good thing. And whether your traditions are weird or normal, we hope you just have fun. Yeah. We do. And hopefully

your arguments with your family aren't too bad. Because they will be. But you know, just have a have a couple of tippy cows and forget about it. Okay. Hell yeah. All right. Should we take some calls? Let's do it. Oh, hey. Oh, hey, how are you? What's your name? Where you call from? I'm calling from Mancada, Minnesota. This is Ann Coyle. And welcome to the Belly to a podcast. How's it going today? Good. I got to do Apple work. So I'm just hanging out at home, getting some stuff done.

Real good man, Kato Anna. I love to hear it. What are you, what do you call, what are you belling up to talk with us about? Well, I have an urgent question for you. What is it? Oh, my. Well, okay. So I love quick trip, right? Okay. Yeah, me too. Yeah. Well, I do a lot of driving for work. So I'm stopping all out for gas. And you know, every time you check,

they check out and stuff, then they're saying, we'll see you next time. Yeah. Well, that's great, and all, but like, what do you feel to stay back to that? This is a fantastic question. I'll let you take this one, Charlie. Okay. This is your car.

This is my territory. I got it. This is your call. You take this. When they say say we'll see you next time. So repeat the question bag. What was the question, Charlie? So the question from Anne is that the question from Anne is that every time she goes to the quick trip, they say see you next time.

And then she doesn't know what to say back now. And I think what you do is you look them right in the box and you say oh yeah, no, I'll see you next time You know And you you you mean it you look them in the eyes and you say it like you mean it And then they're gonna feel some special inside and you're gonna feel some special in that human connection Is gonna make sure and sure that whether or not that was the first time you bend to that quick trip where you're just passing through the the world is going to spin in a way that you will indeed see them next time and you both are

going to know and you're going to take an extra long look at their face and they're going to take an extra long look at your face and that way when you do see each other the next time you will remember and you will know and then you'll say see I told you and they will know. And then you'll say, see, I told you, and they'll be like, oh, yeah, you did. Wow. That was beautiful. And then you'll both go each other and the bugs again say, well, see you next time in unison. And it just starts over and over again. And that's how it goes. How do you feel about that? How do you feel about that? Yeah, I don't know.

I just, I don't want it to come off as like aggressive, you know, like, yeah, I'll see you next time. Or like, no, no, no, no, no, you'll see, well, you look, look, that's the way I would play it and you're right, it's coming across a little aggressive. And then you say, yeah, for sure. See you next time. Or you say, you could say this, you could be like,

okay, real good. Yeah, oh, that's good. Yeah, I like that a little bit better. Yeah. The alternative is, okay, real good then. Real good then. Okay, yep, that's good. All right, are you bet, maybe you bet, yeah.

Yeah, betcha. Yeah, betcha. Now, if you wanted to, you could go over to the holiday gas station instead that don't make you say that weird stuff. Oh, here we go for miles. He's a holiday guy. We get it miles. Sorry.

He is subpar, okay? I'm going to say that. That's exactly what I think, Charlie. Their coffee just does not cut it. Although, I can't say I really, I can't say I really like their coffee just does not cut it. Although I can't say I really can't say I really like this coffee either. And tell you what holiday holidays got the coffee either though. Oh you don't like the quick trip coffee either. Chase. I like a robot. I don't know what the fuck that is. I like it. Holiday's got the best. You like it. That's a good coffee.

I'll put it in my out. I don't know. No, I do like it. I'd rather just stop at caribou or just make my own like, print press in the morning. And we got a coffee snob on our hands. We got a Midwest coffee snob.

And the coffee snob. What are the signs miles that we have a Midwest coffee snob on our hands go? First of all, they actually will turn down coffee. Turning down coffee. I'm a guy. I'll never turn down a cup of coffee even if it's that crappy hospital stuff. Yeah, I know. Coffee's coffee. I'm even drinking the weak old stuff at the jiffy lamp. You reheated. They're not going to know the difference. And now I'm sorry, I'm, what'd you say? Where do you like to go for your coffee? Oh, coffee the boo, caribou. All the boo. See, that's, that is your first indicator that someone's a coffee

snob. And then if you're making it at home and, I mean, the word friends press doesn't exist to someone who's not a coffee snob. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's true. Exactly, you're using them. But have you ever had French press stuff? Oh, man. Oh, man.

You like pour over coffee as well. I don't mind pour over coffee, but I'd rather have, I'd rather have my French press. So I know it is good. And look, we're just we're just yanking your chain here. I know it's all good. Well, I mean, you're definitely a snob, but but when it comes to coffee, yeah, but French press is good.

I'm not gonna lie to you. You know why it's good though, Ian? Because it's coffee. Okay, and all coffee is good. Exactly. Yeah. I'm sorry, don't put any sugar in it, right? Yeah, no black coffee.

Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Well, as you want, poor little tippy cow in there, then you know, I get a little busy. Yeah, there you go. But, uh, no, I think that that's, but sums it up. That was good advice.

So thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you. I am. We appreciate you calling Chad. That was good advice by us, Charles. I think it was. Coffee's coffee. And thank you.

Also, I've been listening to your book on Audible. Oh, nice. The Midwest survival guy. How many hours is that? That's right. How many hours is it on Audible. Oh nice, the Midwest survival guide. How many hours is it? That's right. How many hours is it on Audible? Well, I don't even know. It's got to be like 56 hours, correct?

It's a long book. Yeah. Well, I drive so much for work. It's great. I just get in the car and go. Oh, well, I really appreciate you listening to it. I know it's tough with the charts. That was a dumb thing to put on.

Well, I was going to actually say, which one, which one do you like, when Charlie does his next book, I think he should have just only pictures. There's too many words in his current book. There are a lot of questions. Well, I am waiting for the hard copy to come in the mail. So I do look forward to that. What hard copy to come in the mail. So I do afford to that. What's the hang up on the shipping?

Well, I guess my, I ordered it, but then I guess it put in the wrong address that came and you P.S. shipped it back. And now I'm waiting for it to get come back to my place. I think she deserved her own free sign copy. Don't you think Charles? You do. You know what? You know what? You do.

It take, what? She can't say her address on this. No, we'll get, hey, you DM the belly. I like that. You DM belly it up podcast. Charlie will sign a book and send it to you. I make sure it gets in your hands. I will.

You bet you. You just DM us. I'll give you a sign copy. OK, you give that other copy to, you know make sure it gets in your hands. I will. You bet you you just DM us. I'll get you a signed copy. Okay. You give that other copy to, you know, one of your relatives or something. I just put it in the bathroom so people can look at the photos on the one that on the pot.

Yeah. That miles was doing that this morning. I was. Did you order? I do. I was going to say I was going to say I do have one little, a little bit of beef with the book though I don't know if this is gonna get me not a sign copy if I say this but sure let me know

Okay, I just think maybe I need someone from Minnesota to you know What did I screw up about it? Wisconsin slant to it is what she's saying. It did. It did. I love everything about it so far. The only thing I'll say is at the beginning, I think it was you said something about like Chicago, like how we refer to it as like the city or something. And I've never heard anyone in Minnesota do that.

Oh. In the Minnesota, in Minnesota, it's all about the cities. Yeah, no, that is true. That is true. Yeah, the city. Yeah, the city is where we don't really care about Chicago here in Minnesota. Okay. Well, here's the deal. Yeah.

I think you just got yourself a job as his next editor on his book. That's, you know, it could easily happen here. You could spend it over and I will, I will prove free to ask. She sends it back and there's just red marker on everything. And then just skull written over the top. I do hear you, you have them in the sotin on your staff. They're miles right Sarah. Oh, yeah, yeah, probably do the job too. So. Oh yeah. Yeah. She's a good

girl. Charlie will get you educated. All right. I'm going to learn from you Ann. Okay. Man, can you know, Ann's going to teach me how it's done. And I'll send you that Saint copy. You bet you're asked, Hey, by the way, did you, did you purchase it off the Man Twok minute website, man twokment.com. I did. You did. I did, yeah. They got the address wrong, huh? No, no, no, I got, it was my bad. Oh, it's your bad.

Okay. It was my bad. It was like, I auto filled the address and it like auto filled the wrong, like a bold address. Oh, I see. And then I tried, I sent an email right away saying like, oh, it's wrong address, like my bad. Like here's the right address.

And then it had already gotten shipped. I see. And so then I tried to like, it was my fault. Oh, okay, it was your bad. Well, what's the, it'll send you a sign one for calling in here today. I really appreciate you. Oh, yeah.

Well, thanks for the advice. I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, for the advice. I've been I think I'm always wondering what do I do? And I think we started a good trend here today. I think it's on this podcast Colin for some advice. Colin for a biceller trade or Colin to put critiques on Charlie's book. I think we need to add that little yeah every critiqueed my book you give for all our listeners. No, no, no, no, no, but listen, Amber every critiqued you give of my book. You will get a free piece of merchandise off of you.com. In fact, three pieces of merch. So you get on there, you pick out what you want.

Okay, have you guys, do you guys know the radio show it used to be on, I think like NTR called Car Talk? Yeah, Car Talk. It's a great show. I think you guys are like the Midwest version called Car Talk. Yeah, Car Talk. It's a great show. I think you guys are like the Midwest version of Car Talk. Oh, wow. The Midwest Car, that's a huge compliment. Did you listen to Car Talk miles?

Not much. Oh, it's so good. It's so good. It's so good. I can't find it anymore anywhere. And I should probably see see if they have like recorded CDs or something of it, but anyway. I bet you would do.

And it was very informative as well. And that's what we try to do here on the valid up podcast. We don't know much about like, I mean, I can tell you a little bit about cars from the very little I know. I can tell you I changed E-Way all that's it, but we try to be informative on other things, you know like pull tab. Yeah Culture and yeah

Exactly well And then we write books about it and get stuff wrong. Yeah Wait till miles writes his book. I'm not writing the book. It's just gonna be a poll the book of pull tabs It's gonna be all is spent pull tabs. Yeah, just every page is just got a pull tab. Yeah. That's a great idea for a book. Yeah. It's a picture book. Yeah. That's a Midwest bar culture. Yeah. And then on each page, you get to pull back to see the, to see the photos. That is pretty cool. That's a great idea. That is.

That'll be expensive to produce, but I can't wait to see it. And I'll take 10%. All right. And thank you so much for calling in. Oh, thank you. All right. We'll see you next time. All right.

Greatest cities in all the United States. Where you doing them? Milwaukee today, Michael. I am currently at work. Second last day of work. Where are you working?

I quit the place. Tell you what's on the airport. Oh, you're done working at the airport. What do you do at the airport you're doing. I'm not sure what you're doing. I'm not sure what you're doing. I'm not sure what you're doing. I'm not sure what you're doing. I'm not sure what you're doing. I'm not sure what you're doing. I'm not sure what you're doing.

I'm not sure what you're doing. I'm not sure what you're doing. I'm not sure what you're doing. I'm not sure what you're doing. I'm not sure what you're doing. I'm not sure what you're of all I want to know if you got a good quitting story What did you get fed up and just said that's good? You know what's the real reason why you're quitting Yeah, pretty much just got a fed up one day and I was like you know what I Put them my two weeks. I had this great idea. I'm not you know start this you know Maybe like social media page does a lot of things around like bush light.

You know, I thought, you know, I'd be like the first person to, you know, kind of corner the market up. Don't do it. You'll be miserable. Trust me. You think the grass is greener. You get on the other side and you just aren't miserable. It's just fertilized with bullshit.

Yeah. Yeah. So Michael, it all honestly, what are you doing? So I'm leaving. I'm going to go be an electrician. Good man. Oh, yeah, that's good money. Yeah, it's a great money. Good living. Sweet. So are you doing this because you're thinking more flexible hours or you just like the electrician work more than the sheet metal work on the cargo planes? Oh, no, I like the electrician work more than the sheet metal work on the cargo planes.

No, I like the sheet metal work, but just some work that I did when I was in the middle case, I'm just putting that all behind me now. Okay. I'm going to go learn some stuff that I don't really know about. Oh, so you are entering this trade. Have you gone to school for it or are you just going to buy share experience? No, I'm going to do an apprenticeship and get into school and then get my feet wet and hit the ground running. Good for you. You know, water and electricity don't miss. I would not recommend getting your feet wet if you're going to be be. Bush lights while doing electrician work. I don't. I don't. I do things we don't recommend.

You know, I used to have an uncle. He did that one. So you don't want to do that. You have an uncle. Yeah. All right. Hey, what are you called in for some advice? Can we give you any advice? It was more or less just one of the get your guys opinion.

More or less, what kind of, what's your like kind of biggest pet peeve? So for instance, I used to live down in North Carolina. You know, down in North Carolina on the coast, a lot of people down there where the, you know, the salt life stuff, you know, you can you see that. My biggest pet peeve is when I'm driving on the freeway somewhere and I'm behind a car with a Salt Life sticker and a Wisconsin license plate.

Well, at least it's a Wisconsin license plate and not a North Dakota license. No, well, that's because when you guys, you guys got a shoreline. Yeah, yeah. And that'd be saltwater, but we see got a shoreline. Well, when North Dakota goes down south, they go to Nebraska. So I think what you're talking about with those fellows, that's someone who goes on vacation, maybe one time, they all pile in the van and they get down there to go to Hilton had if they're spending or You know they go to one of those boundary islands. I think that's what you're looking at there

We're like someone like a salty dog cafe shirt or something. Oh, yeah You see a lot of those because in the Midwest when we go on vacation, it's usually driving at least in my family. I'm from a big family. So maybe I'm unique in that. Well, plain tickets for your family would have been like 10 grand. There's no way we're doing that. So we one time took a 15-seater van all the way down to the golf shores. And the AC went out somewhere around Nashville. It was the AC went out somewhere around Nashville. It was, it was a, it was a bruise, smelled like a dirty diaper and an oven. Um, that man, that little traveling pill bottle we were taking. But I think that's what you have. These people go on vacation one time. It's their big vacation. So they're getting these bumper stickers. They put them on their car.

Or if they're really spending, they got a house down there and they fly down or whatever. Well, so the thing is, is the Salt Life sticker on the Wisconsin light split car, it just means that that one person is taking the one week that they go on vacation to the coast and making that their entire personnel making it their identity. One hundred person.

One week, they come back wearing the boat shoes, they have a five inch in pink shorts back wearing the the boat shoes. I think you think short. And and the and the bright color shirt. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe pick up a life is good shirts. Yeah. Oh, stick figure on it. And there's a stick figure surfing on there. It seems like the salt life in the brand life is good. Kind of go hand in hand, but I will say that Michael, I will say this for honest with ourselves. There's nothing in Milwaukee. We are doing in February, if not live in the Salt Life with all the Salt

on the road. I mean, he got you ready accurate. Okay. You got him, Charlie. Actually, you know what? I'd venture would be the thought there's more. I was I'd say that there's more salt in the winter up in Wisconsin

than there is on the coast. Yeah. And by the way, I'm going to throw this out there. I don't like the salt. I think they got to use sand on the streets as much or do a mix. Because as a concrete guy, my concrete guy, myself,

the salt ruins the top of the concrete. It ruins the concrete. And I'll say this is a walleye guy. It's not good for the fishing. Like that salt is obvious because that salt goes right into the lakes and it's not good for the fish. So the if you can use sand or any of that on your own driveways, that that I hope, but you know, he's a blowtorch on there. Yeah.

Flamethrower. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Well, so you just wanted to call the complaint about the Salt Life folks. Is wondering what are pet peeves are? Oh, our pet peeves. And he's start with these pet miles. You go first. What's yours? Um? I mean, where do I start? You know, I think most of the time beer snobs are my pet peeve, you know, someone that IPA guy, IPA guys, exotic showers, you know, all of those with the fancy beers that taste like you're just drinking a fruit smoothie when they, and then they try and claim it as beer. That's kind of, you know, that's my pet peeve, I'd say. Yeah. That's a good one.

You remember the old Miller light commercials with the man laws? Oh, don't fruit the beer, man law. That was when was that trying to recommend that was early 2000 dude, there was like triple H was in it and I mean the beer marketing in the early 2000 from 2000 to maybe 2007 was the golden era of beer marketing. They had stuff like that. They had the real men of genius ads. You remember those?

Yes. They had the Miller like commercials where their girls are like ripping each others clothes off and the fountain and arguing over about the taste. Yeah. Well, that's that was the golden age. No, you know, miles the golden age was back in the 50s when all the men would drink their beers and all the women would just you know, be getting it from them from the fridge.

Yeah. This is sarcasm, by the way, this is sarcasm. The reason, no, I did not say that. I did not say that. I said, that's our castically. The whole reason that they switched from that is because, you know, now they're, you know, the, Jen, we don't have to talk about why they switched. We can just appreciate the golden age of beer marketing and say it's just not the same way anymore. All right, all complaints can be sent to Miles, the U-Betcha guy. They can get sent to me, but I'm not gonna see him.

Oh, Charlie, what's your pet, Peeve? My pet, Peeve, honestly, my pet, Peeve, honestly, my pet peeve in this might just because I don't have taste buds, you know, is people getting super, uh, into one light beer that somehow tastes better than all the other light beers. But I, I for, and maybe they can taste the difference. Maybe they can. Miles. So you notice how he could think of his own direction. That both of us. Yeah, you notice how he couldn't think of his own pet peeve.

So he just had to deflect on the. Charlie, wait until you find your own pet peeve. One way. Okay. All right. I got another pet peeve. All right. Are you ready?

We'll wait. Okay, all right. I got another pet peeve, all right? Are you ready? My pet peeve is looking at the wee ID thing and seeing the date you have to be born by, oh no. All right, I got a good pet peeve. Forget that. Are you just looking at things around the run?

I was, but the pet peeve. I was, but bring Brick Tamlin on Anchorman. I love lamp. I was doing that, but now I got one. So you know when you go into the Walgreens, this only happens at Walgreens. I went to Walgreens by a case of Red Dog. It's another story altogether, but she asked me, she could have asked me two questions.

She could have said, are you over 21 or are you under 40? And she chose, are you under 40? And I was like, you got to be came, I am way closer to 21 than I am to 40. And then why is she asking if you're under 40? Because they have a rule in Walgreens that if you're under 40, you need to be guarded. But you can also say, are you over 21? If you're going to cart me anyway, why do you got to choose the one with? That's your pet peeve. All right, I guess that was a good old. I guess that wasn't there. All right, well, this was great, guys. I learned something about myself on this podcast. I need to get a pet peeve. Okay, my pet

peeve is sexism in the early 2000s beer advertising. That's my pet peeve right there. All right. Okay. Well, we found out that Charlie can't appreciate history. You know, that's my pet peeve. Some can appreciate history. Yeah. All right. Well, you guys push me. You push the bear ends. Okay.

So there you go. Push the bear ends. Michael, I'm so happy for you though. Chase in your passion, getting a new gig, because you didn't like your other one. Good for you. Some people would work that job till they, till they die. What are you most nervous about when you're thinking about changing careers and being an electrician? What's, what's kind of a thing? It's a good question. It's a little nervous. Oh, easy. Get an electricated. Well, don't get your feet wet for

God's sands. Yes. Stay away from water. All right. Then that's step number one. Two, you're going to want to wear rubber gloves and boots. Rubber is your friend. Yes. In a lot of scenarios, but especially this one. No, that's a great lesson for everyone.

Don't put your hand on me. Rubber is on your friend. I mean, rubber is your friend. Miles. You know, those are not preferred by the Catholic church. We see that rubber is a friend. I mean rubber is your friend miles. You know, those are not I preferred by the Catholic church. I'll tell you that right now. What's your helmet? So, all right, we're we're rubber at all times. Right. We got that. He walks up on day one and just squeaking.

No, it's like the naked gun where they're like hugging each other in the full size condom. That's a great movie. Oh boy. You know, I would be more scared to get in made fun of for not knowing shit than getting electrocuted. The construction workers can be, uh, they can be pretty ruthless at times. But you know, if they make fun of you, they like you. Yeah, that's true Yeah, I'm going into this with my brother as

One of the journey men at the company. Oh nice. So yeah, you can get made fun of quite a bit to start. I can tell you that much Yeah, I got I got a feeling that's coming for sure Good for you, but if you know that going into it, you can just accept it and lean into it. Oh, yeah. All right, well, it was good chatting with you. Hopefully your last couple of days at work go good. Don't work too hard. And don't worry, I will not.

Do I just hope you don't get electrocuted at your next job? Yeah, good luck on that. All right. Well, thanks for calling in, man. Yeah, have a good one. You see watch for deer and salty dog stickers. I tell your folks. I decide. All right, you too. Bye bye now. Bye bye. Charlie, you think we'd be good electricians? Um, I'm going to go ahead and say I would we'd be good electricians? Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say I would not be a good electrician. That would be your downfall. I'm spacey, man.

I'm too. You know what? I'll tell you this. I got a good story. So I used to work in a violin shop. Like I was like a shop hand sweep the floors. Do some minor woodwork that I wouldn't screw up. I wouldn't even know where to find a violin shop, but can carry on.

Yeah, and this guy is Steve Hossie. Great dude. He's a bull maker. I mean, it's just a guy who took the process of everything. Now he got to clarify. He made the boys in the Midwest. Yeah. A bow maker means must something different. A violin bow maker. That's what he was. Violin bow maker, but just like a wood guy, you know, he took a lot of care and passion. And he would, he was all about the process, you know, it's all about the process. And I learned a lot from him because I was not a process guy. It's like, let's get this shit done with so I can go have a beer, you know? So I remember I was doing, I was, I think just vacuuming the shop at a shop

back out or something. And they're with the cord was cut. So I was going to splice the chord, you know. I'm like, the chord was, I think I actually cut the chord when I was doing, he had this lawnmower, the plug-in lawnmower for some reason, because he only had one strip or whatever. Same extension chord. I bring it back and plug it and I'm realize, oh shoot, I cut halfway through. So and it's not working. The,, the shop X knuckle and because the court's cut. So then, you know, that's a pretty easy electric move. You just, you know, you just pull it back,

strip it and then you put them together. Well, I did that while it was still plugged into the wall. Holy. It shot me back. I fell on my hands. Dude, I got electrocuted hard. I come in crawl space. You know, this, the winter you did the last spring. Yeah. I got the nastiest shock from what? Ah, the water heater.

I've touched something I should have been watching. Yeah. Wait, then your crawl space. Yeah. Would you touch on the water heater? Ah, it was the little knob to Turn it for how hot you want it. Right because I wanted our Baseline to be a little bit hotter. Yeah, and I took off a guard that I wasn't supposed to

Touch something I should have touched in the touch. Yeah, so Hey, getting a shock like that. Yeah It hurts Yeah, so you know, hey, getting a shock like that. Yeah, it hurts, but it kind of of this kind of like a nice little thrill. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. You feel alive. But as weird as it is, I don't mind. All right, hang on. We got to put this claimer right here. Do not try that at home. Do not do this. You can, you can die. Okay. If you can die, you, you possibly could die. Yeah. But if you don't die, you'll know we're talking about. Do not do it. And that is like not the war. It's kind of exil. No, don't. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. All right. Yeah. But but we get it. It was

higher. Someone to do electrical work. Yeah. You can do the rest of the work. Do the plumbing, whatever. Why do you have to bring up your auto or rata electrocution on the podcast? No, but it was, uh, yeah, just the nastiest shock. Yeah, don't you don't want to get shocked folks. Okay. All right. All right. Let's keep her moving. All right, guys. Lots of Thanksgiving talk on this podcast, but we can't forget about free farm, although free farm is closed on Thanksgiving Day, which is great, that all the people that work there get to go celebrate with their family. Absolutely. It's a great move by Flea Farm.

I think that's just something special about them as a company. I also try and give my employees things giving off, but... Try is the key word in that I just want people to celebrate with their family and friends and then be back at it. Black Friday, they got deals and steals items online at 8 p.m. The night before Thanksgiving, not to mention that in store Friday deals with doors opening at 5 a.m. Holy smokes. You fall asleep at 6 p.m. because all the turkey wake up at 5 a.m.

they head to fleet farm the first 500 people through the doors will get their collectors plush. What is that? What is that? That's what it says. Collectors wonder wonder what animal it's going's what it says. Collectors. What's this? What's this? What is it?

What is it? That's what it says. Collectors. What's this? What's this? What's this? What's this? What's this?

What's this? What's this? What's this? What's this? What's this? What's this? What's this? What's this?

What's this? What's this? What's this? What's this? What's this? What's this? realizing now that a plush is a stuffed animal. Yes, I didn't know that. I was today years old when I learned that. Well, we don't have kids, that's the problem. You know, we probably would know it. But I got one animal, do you think it is? I want a deer. Okay. I want a little deer.

Yeah, some with the velvety antlers. A little buck. Yeah, a little buck would be nice. What do you think before this? Thanksgiving. What am I thankful for? Well, since we're in the Fleet Farm Ad Rate, What do you think before this Thanksgiving? What am I thankful for? Well, since we're in the Fleet Farm Ad Rate, we've fought farm. We're thankful.

So guys, you gotta hit up Fleet Farm on Black Friday, first 500 people get a stuffed the animal. We think it might be a buck, we don't know though. So head to the Fleet Farm, Black Friday shopping can't get much better than that. Oh, geez. Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Now if you're in charge of dessert on Thanksgiving, pick up a bottle of this tippy cow, honest to Pete. Okay. So you can say, yeah, helped. You don't have to cook. You just guys show up with a little tippy cow miles and be like, cheese, goes, and everything.

And we're so perfect for my family. My family likes grasshoppers. The Shamrock mint. Is that what it is? Yeah. Tastes just like a grasshopper. And then I actually poured a little chocolate shake in there. Tastes like an Andy's candy. Chocolate shake one. Yeah. Tastes just like a grasshopper. Yeah. So tippy cow is a great option. It is. Yeah. The glass with full of ice makes a couple of the chocolate shake, the Shamrock mint, much safer, the much safer holiday experience.

It is much safer. And you know, that is just, um, that's a great point. You're bringing up to about the blender. I think Tipeekow is a great point. You're bringing up to about the blender. I think Tippi cow is a great after dinner drink. We were talking about Thanksgiving dinner. I never even brought up that one of the best traditions is having a nice grasshopper after dinner. True.

And also one of the greatest traditions that we have in my house is watching the lions glues because they always play the cowboys usually or something growing up. They would always glue on Thanksgiving. Yeah. It was always the lions and the cowboys usually or something growing up. They would always lose on Thanksgiving. Yeah. It was always the the Lions and the cowboys and the Lions would always lose. There's three things that are promised on Thanksgiving. Your uncle's going to fall asleep in the chair. Someone's going to pull a groin.

Lions are going to lose and someone's going to pull a groin in the turkey. And the whole family's going to be sipping on some typical. That's true. And someone's going to pull a groin. Yeah. That's it. So there you go. So guys, make all your traditions come true with one bottle tippy cow. Look for the cow that went ass over teakettle. Hello. Oh, hey boys, I got in. Oh, who is this? This is Nate from Anchorage, Alaska, Nate from Anchorage, Alaska. A lot of Midwesterners in Alaska. Yeah, well, you know, that was one of the reasons I was calling. Oh, well,

tell us about it. Well, belly up to the bar with us. Tell us what's on your mind. Well, been listening to a lot of your podcast lately. And notice that you guys are looking for some other states to add to the Midwest. Here we go. I love that. I just had this conversation yesterday. We did on a previous podcast when this comes out about this exact topic. So carry on. Well, I have a few reasons that's why I think Alaska should be thrown into the hat. I love this. Why should Alaska become part of the Midwest go? All right. Well, you boys ever, ever use the back of your hand as a map for Michigan. Oh, and Wisconsin. I'll tell you that. Wisconsin is well.

Wisconsin is well. Both can be the mitten state. I'll tell you this. If Michigan really wants to be the mitten state, get rid of the UP. Okay. So now that I said that, yes, I do know about the hand map. Hey, I'm not a midwesterner yet. So I don't know what I'm talking about.

No, you're on the right track. All right. So what is just sensitive? Yeah. So pretend you're wearing a watch on your right wrist. Okay. Act like you're reading your watch. It's it's a state of Alaska. Big out your your pointer finger and your thumb. Oh, you guys are in. Yeah, you're in. You're in. You're in anytime you get it. Oh, I'm not done. Oh, he's not done. Okay. All right, off to a great start. I hear you, boy, like ranch dressing. Oh, love it.

You happen to have your phone in front of you there. Yeah. Well, if you wicked pedia ranch dressing, you'll see that it was invented in Alaska. Okay. I'm going to, I'm going to take your word for it. Charlie's looking it up. Yep. Look at this in 1949. Saylor Nebraska. They have Steve Henson. Actually, this is in the Midwest survival guide. This whole thing. Yeah. he moved with his life to the Anchorage Alaska area and that's where he did. Yeah, 100% all right check mark number two. You got another one for us Well, I mean, I think it goes without saying we've got the the best fishing and hunting you could ask for that is true

I mean, you're just, you're in. You're in salt. You're in. And we are now going to gavill Alaska from this day forward. She'll be part of the Midwest. Here he is. Here he is. Thank you very much.

Oh, you going to just made my day. Oh, no, you made our day. You made our day. Um, I want to do, I want to shoot. I'm from North Dakota. So let's do a little hand magic with North Dakota, all right? We got to call it hand magic. So you're going to hold your fist up so you can see the back of your hand.

Okay. And that's it. That's North Dakota, right there. So, that's great. No, that was, I mean, I'm going to be honest, you're the first color to come this prepared. Yeah. Very prepared. We appreciate that. Yeah.

We're going to be calling you for advice after this. Well, he's now in the Midwest. So, yeah. Well, yeah. Now that I'm, you know, I'm, I'm the patron, patron saint of the Alaskan Midwest, I guess. Yeah. You know, I love it. We got to keep it going.

It's just self-proclaiming himself the patron saint. I like that. I like that. That's great. Yeah. I mean, I could keep going, you know, we share a border with Canada. That's true. Check.

Another check mark. Just keep going. Yeah's true. Check another check mark. Just keep going. Yeah. We've got we've got winter for a good, you know, nine, 10 months out of the year. It's true. Oh, yeah. It kind of sucks sometimes, to be honest with you. Well, it gets a little bleak there in the winter, whether it gets to be a long winner, come on down south to the up north and it's a very confused because we call it up north but to them be way down south. Yeah. Oh, it's way way down there. You got to come visit and get out of the winter once in a while. Yeah, come on over here. The water's cold. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, our water's cold too. Yeah, that's true. You got anything else on your mind that you want to talk about today?

Oh, man, that was that was pretty much it. I just been kind of way and heavy on my heart. I've I've lived here my whole life and just felt like Alaska is just always kind of kick to the curb. You know, when when you look at the map of the United States, they don't put Alaska where it belongs up on the Northwest. It's always down by like Hawaii or something. That is true. It's, it's like they don't even care. You know, I really like that because that's one of the reasons why I started the U.

Bet you page is I felt that no one was celebrating the Midwest. This guy feels like no one's celebrating Alaska like they properly should. And I know why I think once in a while, Charlie, we should throw Alaska a bone. I think we should throw it. Well, we just threw Alaska a bone. You went to, you were absolutely,

Charlie was actually in Alaska on a fishing trip. I was in Alaska on a fishing trip. And, and I tell you what, I tell you what, when you're out there in the middle of the deal going for salmon and that fog rolls in and that's terrifying, especially when the captain of the boat tells you, yeah, if you go in the drink, if this boat falls apart or something, you got 10 minutes to survive before you go into shock. And then I was like, well, what do you do about that? And he was like, well, we got a body suit

right here. You get that body suit and you'll be okay. I was like, well, how many body suits do you have? He goes just one. And there's six people on the boat. Oh, man, I was freaking out. So you were motion fishing, man, huh? I was ocean fishing. Yeah. Oh, man, you got to come up and fish the legendary rivers and, yeah, got a fly for you next time. We're up. Well, we should take a trip, Charlie. That's a great idea.

Yeah, man, we've got a hook up. I've got family that's got a big ol' fishing boat. We go on the ocean. We could go to the river. Do any fly fishing in the rivers up there? Oh, yeah, that's the only place I like to. I like to just, I like to find a river and just hike for a couple miles back to where there's nobody around. And it should, it should me and the bears and I'm just fishing by myself.

Do you go out with a gun in case you see a bear? What I want to talk about this? What, how do you deal with the bears there? What is what is what's everybody know about bears and like what kind of bears? And if you see them, if you're out there fishing, what do you do? How do you

prepare for them? And what do you do if you see one? Well, I, I've lost track of, of how many times I've come across bears while I'm fishing or hiking or biking or whatever. And I think it all just depends on, on what you're wanting to do. Most people are out there. Bear spray. Yeah. No kidding.

Most people have bear spray, which works, but you know, if it doesn't work, you probably wish you had a gun. So I prefer to carry a gun with me when I'm out there. That's smart. I would do that. Yeah. Have you ever had to use a gun on a bear? Only when I wanted to kill a

bear. Yeah. Okay. But no, yeah. But so if you see, if you encounter, let's say you encounter grizzly out there and it sees you and you see it, what are you doing? I'll tell you what the crazy thing is this has happened in these several times there's a river up here called the Russian River that's pretty legendary for for salmon. That's why the bears are there. there for for salmon. That's why the bears are there. Yeah, and you you hike up the river and one time I was hiking up and I look up and no joke, there's a there's a the butt of a brown bear is about 15 yards in front of me and all you do is just stand there but they're all they care

about is the fish. So they just turn around and look at you and then go about their day. Okay. Is it acceptable to at that point when they turn around and stare at you to peer pants? Because that might be what I was. Fill your weight. 15 years away. You want to have thumb crazy? Yeah. I got a buddy of mine that's a funeral director. Oh

God. And every now and then when there's a bear attack and somebody dies, he has to go pick up the body. The the first thing that the bear goes for are the butt cheeks and the shoulders. No, geez. I could have gone my whole life without knowing that. Yeah, seriously.

Hey, so now not only did I pee my pants, the bear has killed me and he's going to eat my ass and my shoulders. That's the last thing I need when I'm dead. Here's, hey, but now you guys can take it seriously. Yeah, well, I'm like we weren't take it seriously right now. So look, I've heard if it's if it's brown, you get down. If it's black, you get back brown bear? It looks at you. What if it approaches you? What are you doing? You're not getting down at least I'm not. Well, not in the water, obviously. That doesn't make any sense. So are you backing away or are you making yourself big? Like these are, this kind of one of yours. You're making yourself known, you're hauler in, you know, a little hey, bear, hey, bear. Yeah. Make, make them know that that you're there and try to make yourself big. And if they start coming towards you, get that

gun out and get ready to, get ready to go got it. Okay. Well, there you have it. Or the bear spray. Yeah. He don't mess with the bear spray. It sounds like, well, that's good. You know, it's not a big deal because, you know, you can, you can, for the most part, you can see him come in, you can hear him come in. So it's rarely a surprise. Right. And you don't want to surprise him. So when you're walking up that river, are you saying, Hey, bear, bear, bear, Hey, is that what you're doing? Or only if you see one, are you starting to do that?

Yeah, usually only if I see one, unless I'm feeling like singing a song or something. Okay. Got it. Charlie would be whistling and singing all the way up there just because he's a happy, go lucky guy. Yeah. Well, that could be that's good barking like a dog. It's good to do.

It is good to not do that voice, but you want a non threatening one, right? You don't want to go low in your tone. I was up one night at Conceleeps. I was studying a lot of this bare stuff just because I got paranoid. I was like, what if I see one? And that's how I go, you know? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, I think we may have learned something there. I mean, we just, hey, we're glad to have Alaska here in the Midwest now. We've acquired another state, Charlie, spreading the good word.

And honestly, Alaska's gotta be, I mean, we're all about hunting fish in the Midwest. They're one of the best hunting in fishing places, you know, in the entire United States. So now we just, I mean, our tourism thing just went through the roof by adding a lot. So we appreciate you throwing your hat in the ring. And, you know, maybe Charlie and I someday I'll get up to Alaska. A little trip. I think we will. I think we'll come visit you. Go fish the Russian River and

see ourselves a brown Bay. Fly fishing. Yeah, we're going to go with you too. Heck yeah, that'd be a good time. Yeah, I appreciate that. I'm just going to work on that faster than miles too. In case that bear doesn't. Okay. Yeah, you don't got to, you don't got to outrun the berry. You just got to outrun miles. Yeah, that'd be a good time. Boy, come up and do a show and we'll go fishing or, you know, hunting or something if we can. But you got to come up in the summer because summer's up here phenomenal. Sounds good. All right. Sounds good, man. Good. Let's go up there when the bears aren't hibernating. That's a good idea. Yeah.

Thanks for calling in and watch for players. Fish and hunts good for you. Yeah. Hey, yeah, I'm going to have to spread the word now that we're officially part of the Midwest. You do it. You do it because of you. We are. Yeah, we got to get it out there. Heck yeah. We have a whole new identity. We got to run with. Yeah. You're already good at the Midwest goodbye here. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I suppose.

Yeah, I'm going to let him know. Oh, say you know, I saw barely the other day. All right, well, I suppose. All right, boys. All right, talk to you soon now. See you, man. All right, talk to you soon now. See you, man. All right. See you.

Bye, bye. You scared of bears that hard or what, Charlie? I forget we do this. Just think about how much, just think of the low percentage of getting attacked by a bear. Yeah, I know, but it obviously, it happens so much. You bring up the feeling real directory story. I do the same stuff.

I, it's here in the woods. Yeah. It's more so not like a, I'm scared. It's like a, all right. What's my plan? Well, that's what I was trying to figure. And there are a million different. Why?

And why does everyone seem to have a different plan to encounter a bear? That's what I'm talking about. Because I know there are some bears you don't want to look threatening for. Because they have a different plan to encounter a bear. That's what I'm talking about, because I know there are some bears you don't want to look threatening for, because they have a note for you guys. We all, Tyler, nice to meet you. Tyler, resident bear hunter here.

Okay. What phrase? You had it close. If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lie down. Okay. And if it's white, good night. Yeah.

You should have polar bear. Because they stalk you, don't they? The polar bears. They don't kill you. They don't care what you do. Well, it's because they have to be the most like intense about getting food because they live where there's not a lot of food, right? Yeah. So they got to be the best hunters. Yep. Also, he said brown down is dumb. Well, that's what you're supposed to. That's your best chance of survival. Your best and you cover your neck. Yes. You cover your neck.

Well, apparently your butt and your shoulder as well, because you'll go for that. Yeah, it'll tell you what, you're not gonna die from an ass bite. You'll die from a neck bite. I don't know if you rips your ass out, that you're gonna bleed out. Some people are into that.

So, but, Tyler, this is why I heard, so you cover your neck and then you spread your legs. Cheeks. No, it spread your legs so they can't, it's not. So you get into a ball. No, you got to protect your organs. Protect your organs.

Feetal position. Okay. Protect your neck and your organs. Your neck and your organs. So you get into a ball. Okay. You can, you can limp for help or you can tie your leg off if they rip your leg apart.

But if you're, if your guts are all laying on the ground, you're done. You're done. Okay. Yep. No. Yep. There you go, guys. That was a fun and lifting way to end this episode. Yeah, it is. But it's good info. It's good info. And a brown bear aim for the snout, right? Yeah. Tyler or I'm sorry, a black bear. Jesus black bear. Get big and scary. Most of the time they won't actually come at you. But yeah, if you do come at you, hit him in the snow. Okay, so black bears are soft. Big and scary brown bears.

Big as you can. Okay. Good deal. Thank you. What a fun way to end this episode. Yeah, that's good. Well, yeah, this might save a life one day. Probably not, but might.

Hopefully, hopefully it saves a life. Well, actually, no, hopefully no one's life's in danger. Oh, that's true. But if your life is in danger, hopefully listen to this episode of the belly to podcasts, you'll know that when it's brown, what was it? Get down into a ball, protect your neck, protect your organs black fight back. We're back. And if it's white, good night, white, good night. Him. Well, folks think it's white drink a bush light.
